It looks harsh, loud and crowded to me. I think you could greatly and easily improve it by making the whole speech bubble white (or with just a subtle yellow tint). Then you could get rid of the area around the head, which would give you more room to breath. You should switch everything but "ubuntu" and maybe "jaunty" to a font that doesn't look like a joke. MgOpen Moderna would be worth a try, but you have to pay attention to the kerning. You should tweak the position and size of the bubble and the jackalope such that the jackalope either doesn't touch the bubble at all, or has parts that clearly overlap it; the just touching the curve as it is right now looks accidental and hurst both shapes. Give the Jackalope colors that don't make it resemble a disabled gui element. Drop that "skyline" in the background, it only adds noise and clashes with the zick-zack. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
